We pulled Morweena Banks out of the hat and picked to watch an episode of Saturday Night Live that she isn't even in. Oops. Apologies to Morweena Banks, but you were only on 4 episodes of SNL and we didn't put that into consideration when picking an episode from your season. But, on the other hand, I feel like I have said the name Morweena Banks on this podcast more than anyone else has said Morweena Banks on a podcast, so maybe you owe me a debt of gratitude. Once again, apologies to Morweena Banks for getting so out of hand. Anywho, we watched Season 20 Episode 9 hosted by George Foreman with musical guest Hole. This episode aired December 17th, 1994 which means today is the 26th anniversary of the first time I saw it. Strangely enough, getting a guy who has been punched in the face for 40 years to host a comedy show doesn't go that great. It also doesn't help that these are the worst written sketches. A guy turns into The Incredible Hulk over and over again, a wedding singer says the name "Uncle Joe" over and over again, Frank Stallone is mocked mercilessly over and over again, George Foreman punches people in the face over and over again. A lot of the sketches have a very repetitive nature to them. We also get a Chris Elliott bedtime story, Mike Myers as Adolph Hitler, Matt Foley, some amazing acting by George Foreman (watch him fake bite that hamburger!), a lot of Janeane Garofalo, a film by Bruce McCullough, Michael McKean as Bill Clinton and more! Enjoy!
